In her small town of Palakollu, Andhra Pradesh, most dreams ended with an engineering degree. But she looked up at the moon and whispered I'm coming for you! Meet Jahnavi Dangeti, India’s rising space trailblazer, officially selected as an Astronaut Candidate for Titans Space’s inaugural orbital mission in 2029. Jahnavi was just 11 when she first heard about NASA. It was her grandmother’s bedtime stories that truly set her imagination in motion with tales that made the stars feel closer than ever. At 16, her school project was selected from over 2,000 entries at ISRO’s World Space Week. That win ignited a deeper curiosity. She learned astronauts trained in scuba diving to prepare for zero gravity. So, she began cycling 25 km to the nearest pool and soon became India’s youngest advanced scuba diver, mastering weightlessness in water long before she’d do it in space. Then came her first big leap! She was selected as the first Indian to attend a 10-day NASA student programme. As she stood at the gates of NASA, tears rolled down her cheeks — the sky was no longer the limit. In 2022, she was one of six selected for a 12-day analogue moon mission in Poland, simulating lunar conditions and testing human survival. “It wasn’t the real moon, but to the little girl inside me, it absolutely was,” she told SheThePeople. After being rejected once, she finally earned admission to the International Institute for Astronautical Science in Florida. There, a veteran astronaut who once flew with Kalpana Chawla told her: “Jahnavi, I see a little Kalpana in you.” And that’s when she knew — the moon was waiting. In 2029, Jahnavi will orbit Earth twice, float in 3 hours of zero gravity, and witness two sunrises and two sunsets — all in one breathtaking mission. From bedtime stories to space missions, from a small Andhra town to the stars, Jahnavi’s journey is proof that no dream is too distant when fueled by determination. @mystic_galaxia #WomenInSTEM #Space #chaseyourDreams #JahnaviDangeti #ISRO #India #NASA #Inspiration [Women Astronaut, Indian Astronaut, Andhra Pradesh, NASA, Women In Space, ISRO]
Over 70% of India’s urban lakes are choking on algal blooms — killing aquatic life and poisoning water. But SwanCav by Prasino Tech is changing that. This solar-powered floating device uses ultrasonic waves to stop algal growth—no chemicals, no labour. It revives lakes in just a month, cutting blooms by 90%! Should this tech be scaled across India? Let us know in the comments below! 👇 @prasinostechinnovations | @dr.anupam_mukherjee | @aditi.mullick #CleanWater #SustainableTech #EcoInnovation #SaveOurLakes #GreenEnergy #WaterRestoration #TechForGood [Solar Floating Device, Algal Bloom Solution, Lake Restoration India, Eco-Friendly Water Tech, Prasino Tech SwanCav, Ultrasonic Water Purifier, Sustainable Lake Treatment]
What would you do if you heard faint cries coming from a deep well? That’s exactly what these villagers in Khategaon, Madhya Pradesh experienced one morning. As they followed the sound and rushed over, they found two deer trapped deep inside, struggling to stay afloat. There was no time to think. With ropes in hand and hearts full of courage, the villagers came together without waiting for help. Their swift, coordinated effort brought both fawns to safety. Watching them sprint back into the wild? Pure joy.

When your child’s dream takes flight, sometimes you step off your own path to help them soar. In 2017 and 2018, Dr Rajnikanth, a respected ENT surgeon, paused his practice. With Gukesh chasing chess glory on a tight budget and traveling across countries, his wife Padma, a dedicated microbiologist, became the sole breadwinner. That decision reshaped their family life. "I took a backseat to support my son. My wife goes to work," he shared with ET. Today, Gukesh, once a young prodigy, is the World Chess Champion. A dream his parents fueled with grit, belief, and quiet sacrifice. Not all heroes wear capes. Some quietly sit in the backseat, cheer the loudest, carry the weight, and believe when no one else does. Here’s to fathers who make the impossible possible. Happy Father’s Day. @gukesh.official #GukeshDommaraju #ChessChampion #ParentingGoals #Family #Parenthood #fathersday [Happy Father’s day, Gukesh Dommaraju, Rajnikanth, Chess, Parenting, Chess Champion]

Who says women can’t lift weights? Born in Kurung Kumey, Arunachal Pradesh, Hillang Yajik has lifted far more than just barbells. She has lifted hopes. Yajik trained hard, qualified, and cleared national selection trials held by the Indian Body Builders Federation and the Bodybuilding Association of Kerala in Ernakulam. That opened doors to the Asian and World Bodybuilding & Physique Sports Championships 2024. But her biggest moment came at the 15th South Asian Bodybuilding & Physique Sports Championships 2025 in Thimphu, Bhutan, where she made history. At just 24, Hillang won gold in Women’s Model Physique (up to 155 cm) and silver in another category, becoming the first woman from Arunachal Pradesh to win an international gold in physique sports. Every lift and every sacrifice is now etched in history. And for every girl watching, proof that no dream is too heavy to carry. @naji___hillang #HillangYajik #Arunachal #BodybuildingChampion #India #SouthAsianSports #Trailblazer [Arunachal athlete, women in sports, South Asian championship, bodybuilding, Hillang Yajik]

"Please help him. He is a superman." That’s what Suraj Vidhate said as his father, Chandrakant, was finally pulled from the rubble. On Sunday evening, a decades-old bridge over the Indrayani river near Talegaon, Pune, collapsed under the weight of over 150 people. What was once a weekend destination became a site of chaos and devastation. Families watched helplessly as loved ones were swept away or buried under twisted steel and concrete. Chandrakant was one of them. Trapped for over an hour, seriously injured. But even in that moment, he held on to three others and helped them to safety, before rescuers could even reach him. Across the river, his son Suraj waited in anguish, holding back tears. "My father was holding on to three people and helped them to safety, even as he was stuck himself. He saved them before he could be rescued," he told TOI. Chandrakant was eventually pulled out by NDRF teams and rushed to a hospital. As officials warn the toll may rise, what remains most clear is this: In the wreckage, it was courage that held people together. #Pune #IndrayaniRiver #BridgeCollapse #RealLifeHero #InspiringIndia #EverydayHeroes #CourageInCrisis #DisasterResponse #HumanSpirit [Pune, Indrayani River, Bridge Collapse, Real-life hero, Inspiring India, Disaster rescue, Everyday heroes, Survivor story, Acts of bravery]

Not every legacy is built in boardrooms. Some grow quietly under open skies. In a heartwarming gesture, the staff of Karnataka’s Badami forest range came together to celebrate the retirement of Shri Parasappa Choudaker, who dedicated 41 years to nurturing the nursery that sustains the region’s green cover. Season after season, Shri Choudaker tended every sapling, watching tiny seeds grow into towering trees that now breathe life into Badami. As he retires, his colleagues came together to honour not just his years of service, but his quiet devotion that will live on in every leaf and every breeze. Shri Choudaker, You didn’t just grow a nursery. You grew hope. Here’s to 41 years of growing life. ❤️ Video credits: @dipika_bajpa on X, Mahesh Marennavar, RFO, Badami Range #ForestHero #BadamiForest #EnvironmentalHero #PositiveNews #Inspiring #Retirement [Badami forest range, nursery, Karnataka, inspiring,forestry service, retirement]
